yay!

finals are now officially over, now the dreaded wait to see if i actually passed everything that i thought i would and how dismally i did on the others. fun!

two of my roommates moved out, one on thursday and one friday. the two new ones came in on saturday. breanne has a brother living in the ward already and is really nice. helen williams used to live in the same ward as amy (who stayed but is currently in new york) and i, it's great to see her again and it'll be great having her as a roommate for these four months.

yesterday in church, my friend, dan, asked me if i wanted to make dinner with him. i said sure, but asked him what we would be making. he told me that he had some ground elk meat. for some reason, i don't think it occurred to me that they actually made ground elk meat. but we made meat pies which were really good, but the flavor was...different.

after we made dinner we played Life Twists & Turns. It was a lot of fun, i lost both times. Yay for me!

two down

three to go.

and actually, one of the ones down was from my bowling class so it doesn't really count. but oh well, i'm using it. this way i feel more accomplished.

finally!

so, today marks the start of finals week which will continue through next wednesday. i have three scheduled finals and one that i just have to go take.

wish me luck!

i'll be so glad when it's over. this past school year was not my favorite, and i feel like i just needed some time not to be doing school. you'd think that i would be fine because i had a break last summer, but even fall semester started with me wanting a break from thinking. not good.

in may i'll be going to visit my sister, inge, and her husband, jared, in texas. i am so excited to go and see her before she's too round to move. she's pregnant, by the way. christianna, another sister, and i are going to go together to visit her and the four of us will have a blast. just have to remember those fruit jammers for my brother-in-law.

welcome to stuff-n-stuff

yesterday was an auspicious day. my bowling friend, amber, became my future roommate, amber. we signed our contracts to live in timpanogos gateway...which is beautiful.

it has:
washer
dryer
pantry
full-size beds
three private rooms
two bathrooms
storage
huge desks in every bedroom
and--oh yeah--did i mention it was beautiful?

i'm not so sure how i feel about paying that much per month, but were i to live in any other city this would be quite the deal for what i'm getting.

amber and i have decided to christen the place with a plaque on the door that says "welcome to stuff-n-stuff. come inside for more details." i'm not really sure where that all came from except for the randomness that is us, but we're pretty stoked. we're currently think up more signs to put up on the doors and fridges and things. the bathroom that we 'share' (it's really hers, but she's going to let me use it so i don't have to share with a stranger) will probably have a name. and only the coollest visitors may be granted use. sorry, if you don't fit the bill.
